| Best friends Jane and Holly have jumped into the river off Swallowâ s Nest Bluff hundreds of times. But one day, Hollyâ s jump goes wrong. Her body never comes up, yet something else doesâ a sad creature of mud, full of confusion and sorrow. Itâ s Holly, somehow, trapped and mixed up with the river. And if Jane canâ t do something to help, Holly will take everybody down with herâ even the people she loves the most. Blending Looking for Alaskaâ s theme of lost friendship with Stephen Kingâ s sense of small town horror, The Drowned Forest is a Southern gothic tale of grief, redemption, and the mournful yearning of an anguished soul. |
